ArangoDB

ArangoDB is a universal open-source database with flexible data model for

documents, graphs, and key-values. Build high performance application using a

convenient sql-like query language or JavaScript/Ruby extensions.

Key features include:

* Schema-free schemata let you combine the space efficiency of MySQL with the

performance power of NoSQL

* Use ArangoDB as an application server and fuse your application and database

together for maximal throughput

* JavaScript for all: no language zoo, you can use one language from your

browser to your back-end

* ArangoDB is multi-threaded - exploit the power of all your cores

* Flexible data modeling: model your data as combination of key-value pairs,

documents or graphs - perfect for social relations

* Free index choice: use the correct index for your problem, be it a skip list

or a n-gram search

* Configurable durability: let the application decide if it needs more

durability or more performance

* No-nonsense storage: ArangoDB uses all of the power of modern storage

hardware, like SSD and large caches

* Powerful query language (AQL) to retrieve data

* It is open source (Apache Licence 2.0)

local/sbin. Point your browser to

http://localhost:8529/

browser. Alternative, it is available as command-line tool arangosh.

arangosh> db._create("hallo");

arangosh> db.hallo.save({ world: "earth" });

Congratulations! You have created your first collection called hallo and your

first document. To verify your achievements

arangosh> db.hallo.toArray();
